Instagram wants to help you clear out your DMs while still making sure you get the love from your followers/loved ones. The company has begun rolling out the option to send a private like on someone's Story post. Before this new feature was introduced, you could only react to Stories by either sending the creator a direct message or an emoji reaction. Either option would show up on their inbox, which can fill the inboxes of creators.

This new like option is a heart icon between the Send Message pill and airplane icon. When you send someone a Story like, the creator will see this in their viewer sheet. There will be a heart icon there for those who liked the Story. As with seeing who has viewed Stories, the Story likes will remain private to those who posted the Story.

If you're a sneakerhead and just want to extend that beyond what's on your feet, Cooler Master showcased a new PC case in time for its 30th anniversary. The aptly-named Sneaker X is a sneaker-shaped PC case built off the work of modder JMDF, who originally submitted the design at the brand's Case Mod World Series 2020.

We don't know its scale but expect the case to take up some space. In JMDF's video, you can see it has a 600W power supply, which might put its size into perspective. But, of course, some aspects of the design could change.
